After informing the Team of a desire to meet with them...making the kids all happy and expecting the Dufus to show up....18 hours later...he cancels saying he has to go New Orleans...

1. They should have requested a reading of "My Pet Goat" instead.
I hear that he takes keeping those engagements VERY seriously.

3. LOL, ::Update:: The Team just got home a few hours ago: They are
at EWA Beach Park celebrating with Friends and Family

The buzz is they are PISSED at Bush...the Whole Park filled with 3,500 peeps are talking about Bush and how he lied to the kids.

The Parents are livid with rage with Bush and his lies....He had told them he was going to New Orleans but instead is in San Diego....

7. But he stayed in that classroom on 9/11...
because he "didn't want to scare the kids". :sarcasm:

5. Um... He SHOULD go to New Orleans, but he should have known that
previously. Again, they are playing catch up.

8. Yes, that's the point.
This guy has been an idiot (since birth). How stupid he looked in Arizona with this huge crisis going on and with the clear worsening of the impact he'd look like an idiot meeting with the kids. He should have canceled all his plans and sure not made a new one.

I'm sure he'd rather be a big shot with little kids, his handlers must have gotten a better grip on him. I know he is an idiot, but why have people let him be so inappropriate. When you are a pretend president you have to play the role a lot better.

Actually I am glad the kids will be spared his slimy energy.

6. Hmm, must be a terror alert.
Edited on Tue Aug-30-05 02:47 AM by Montauk6
You can't be too careful. "Little League"? Please, "Little Terror Cells," more like.

Look, SCOFF ALL YOU WANT but did you hear they actually detained an infant trying to board an airplane, they found out he was on Suspected Terrorist list.

Nope, can't be too careful. Not since Saddam flew those jets into the World Trade Center.

19. You Can't Keep Kids that Age Quiet
He probably realized one of them could say, "Mr. Bush, I have a brother in Iraq who is unhappy." He wouldn't have a response. The boys who won that championship have more brains than the moron.

22. Monday * goest to RanchoCucamonga, tiny town in So.Cal, Repub enclave...
Which served NO PURPOSE, like today's SanDiego visit will serve no national purpose. What is he doing spending time stroking a few dozen minions, when our youth who excell in sports or acedemia, REALLY NEED POSITIVE ROLL MODELS, only to be disappointed by Mr. War-Time-Pres-No-Show draft dodger. Great exemplar for the nation. Just great.

25. Well, I suppose its better than leaving them out standing in the sun...
...and having them drop like flies from heat exhaustion, like he did the Boy Scouts.

Better, but not by much...

26. Because Hawaii is putting caps on oil companies profits thursday
and Bush isn't thrilled with the idea. Big story on this one because California may follow price cap idea.

27. California Watches Hawaii's Effort to Cap Gasoline Prices
With chronically high pump prices straining its laid-back ethos, Hawaii embarks this week on a radical experiment to cap gasoline prices, a move being keenly watched nationwide by legislators and consumer groups eager to rein in record fuel costs.

Interest will be especially high in California, a unique market that some experts liken to Hawaii's because of the high prices charged by gas stations and big profits reaped by a few in-state refiners.

28. I don't think they're his kind of people.


This is the West Oahu team. West Oahu is mostly low-income dark-skinned people.

31. We're crucifying him for not preparing for Katrina.
And for not responding properly.

I don't care where he is he did not and has not prepared and responded properly.

32. According to CNN, he is heading back to DC...
"President Bush returning to Washington two days ahead of schedule to help oversee Hurricane Katrina recovery efforts, White House announces. Details soon."

He doesn't possess the leadership to oversee anything. But Rove will be able to coach on what to say once he's back there. Besides, it will get him away from Cindy, since he has completely blown that opportunity to appear human.

35. My, my, my, isn't that big of him?
He has to go to New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina, followed by Hurricane george. You know, asshole, New Orleans already has lotsa hurt. You don't need to add any more. Especially when, as Olbermann reported last night, YOU made sure funding to shore up the levees against a possible Category Five hurricane was CUT, just a few months ago. ASSHOLE.
